MY SURGEON TOLD ME JUST A GOOD ALL AROUND MULTI VITAMIN,,, SO I GOT WOMENS GUMMY BEAR VITAMINS I FIRST BOUGHT THE CHEWABLE VIT BUT OH YUCK I HATED THEM,,, MY SURGERY DATE IS DEC 12,,,, GOOD LUCK

just come on down to richardson tx and go to true resutls,,,im a hr drive from them but its worth it,,, i know where decatur is so u r not that far,,,, come on down

oh and i forgot to say i started this process on oct 24,,

Nana i dont have my surgery date yet,,, my insur required exactly what u r having to do,,, it was all done at the same time at the dr office (true results) and the sleep study took 2 nights (they sent the little head set to my house and i used it for 2 nights and mailed it back to them) my hold up is the phyc dr forgot to sign my papers and send back to true results so they can send to insur co... so on monday all my paperwork should be faxed to insur co,, then prob a 2 week wait on their decision,,, and oh hell they better approve this or im gonna go all redneck on them if they dont lol... im ready for my band NOW..

i have never had one,,hmmm wonder if i should try it?? but i will go with guac and salsa too im still waiting for my surgery date,,,but trying to be good BEFORE my surgery

just wondering how well OR not so well anyone who has used TR liked it? im planning to have mine there and just wondered how you felt about the staff and Drs... how was your experience and the after care,,, So far i have not had alot of feedback from them,, i have to call them,, they dont call me for anything

these kinds of post scares the crap outta me,,, dont know now if i wanna do this or not

thank you angelizz,,, i did call and they told me just an all around good multi vitamin and biotin,,, i went to wal mart and have already started taking them,,, then i called my advocate and she was trhrilled that i was already ahead of the game,,, thanks to all of you for the tips,,, i dont think i would have been told about any of this if not for you guys,,, hahaah just as im typing this my nurtitionilist (spell whowa) just called and told me to take all that too lol,,, and was glad to hear that i dont have to do the straight liquid 2 weeks before surg,,, just have to do the adkins diet 2 weeks before,,,

Have question. I'm 56 I have about 65 lbs to loose. If I exercise after my lapband walking/dancing etc will I still have a lot of loose skin ? I know everyone is diff but I'm curious to know

Hi. I have not yet been banded but plan to in dec. I'm 56 yrs old and so sick of being overweight. I am going to true results to have it done. And my insur does cover it. I'm the type of person who researches EVERYTHING I do and especially this I have OVER RESEARCHED THIS. I'm thoroughly convinced this is the TOOL that will help me. I'm a very cautious person and don't jump right into things but IM SO READY FOR THIS. I have read every thread on this site. GOOD AND BAD. And I'm positive that this is for me. Hope this helps

good question,,, im still waiting on a surg date,, and now im waiting to see what the answer is to your question,,, i really havent been informed a lot about what happens with the surgery so im readying all these post to find the answers (sigh)

Oh and a bra that fits would b great. And hoping to get breast augmentation next yr for Christmas AND PERM EYELINER !!!!

I will b happy to wear jeans that don't cut me in half and can breathe in them. So want to wear girl clothes again. Tired of men's tshirts

i see the same problem with myself when that time comes,,,its gonna be hard to give up my cokes and me and water are not the best of frineds,,,im tyring very hard to get use to the lipton diet green tea,,, it only took me 2 days to drink a 14 oz bottle,,, geeze i hate diet aftertaste,,,but then thats why im at where i am now,,,, if i want to loose weight and get my band , im going to have to give up the cokes,,, going to be hard ,,,real hard,,, so i know how you feel,,, good luck to the both of us :0

ok what is biotin? and is there a certain kind of multi vit i should b taking? i have no idea on what to take,,, im so confused

i have not yet had my surgery,, and from the things i read on here about the getting stuck episodes just scare the bajesus outtta me,, i was trying to practice last night eating spagetti... ha ha that didnt work at all,, i inhaled it,,, i have so many worries about this now,,PLUS i worry about loosing my hair,,, i plan to do as my surgeon instructs me to do,,,, OK so back to the stuck thing,, this is going to be a gross question but i need to know,, when u said you went and took care of business did that mean u went and threw up? do u gag and throw up (as if you was sick with the flu like from your stomach) because if im sick (which is so very very rare) and when i do throw up u can hear me a mile away,,i heave and heave,,, so will i do that if i have a stuck episode? i know gross,,,or does it just come out real easy,,,, plz plz let me know this answer,,,im not hiding the fact that im having this surg but i dont wanna be in arestraunt and in bathroom heave hoing for everyone to hear lol
